Table 2. Clinical course and neurological outcomes for both cases.
The timeline of key clinical events (intubation, extubation, oral intake, and transfer/discharge), daily Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores from admission through follow-up are shown.
Abbreviations: GCS, Glasgow Coma Scale; mRS, modified Rankin Scale; ICU, intensive care unit; DKA, diabetic ketoacidosis; ODS, osmotic demyelination syndrome; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging.
